The legendary entrance of The Shockmaster in WCW. You gotta give the other wrestlers and the commentators credit for not busting out laughing after seeing it. This didn't stop the commentary from losing it, though, and even the British Bulldog can be clearly heard saying "He fell right on his fucking arse!"

You can hear Ric Flair losing it as well, exclaiming "Oh god! Oh my!"

Back in ECW, Joey Styles had some pretty funny one-liner reactions to what was going on in the ring. One of the things he would occasionally say (aside from replacing his trademark "OH MY GOD!!!" with "AY DIOS MIO!!!") happened whenever a luchador jumped from the ring so far he landed in one of the first few rows: "And it's Take-Home-A-Luchador night here in the ECW Arena!"

The poor production values alone added fuel to the fire. Since typical ECW shows didn't have the big screen displays common in WCW and WWF/E, and since a match that starts in the ring isn't guaranteed to stay in the ring, parts of the crowd can end up left in the dark. One match involved two wrestlers brawling out behind the bleachers in one half of the building while fans in the other half chanted, "I CAN'T SEE SHIT! I CAN'T SEE SHIT!"

It is hard to choose the funniest moment of the Andy Kaufman-Jerry Lawler feud, but Andy's video tutorial series for the people of Memphis (Lawler's turf) on how to use soap, toilet paper, etc. is definitely up there.

As a bonus, after the announcers said not to throw chairs into the ring, a fan threw a garbage can instead. Also when Terry Funk got hit by one of those thrown chairs, he sold it like an actual chair shot.

On an episode of WCW Thunder, Kevin Nash served as a guest commentator. Botchamania put video of this into its 94th edition...and Nash is much more entertaining as a commentary guy than as a wrestler.

(deep voice) "Bill Goldberg, a bald-headed man with a tattoo. Who has only lost one time, to a fiercer warrior, Mister Kevin Nash!" (normal voice) "That's pretty good, ain't it—how I worked that in there?"

Inverted, as this came from the audience and it was the wrestlers who found it funny. The commissioner of the late Stampede Wrestling asked the audience to tone down on the swearing. At the next show, audiences chanted (at moves they thought impressive) "HOLY BEEP! HOLY BEEP! HOLY BEEP!" The wrestlers found it HILARIOUS.

From Bash At The Beach 1998: Chavo Guerrero has a hair vs. hair match with his uncle Eddie, and decides before the match he'll wrestle Stevie Ray as a tune-up. Keep in mind Stevie is about twice as big as Chavo. Eddie Guerrero comes down after both Stevie Ray and Chavo have come out, which prompts Chavo to grab a mic and dedicate the match to Eddie. After some goofing off by Chavo, he offers a handshake to Stevie. Stevie accepts......only for Chavo to YELL out in pain, collapse to his knees, and immediately tap out. Bell rings, Stevie wins via submission, and after a couple moments, Chavo grabs the mic and says, "EDDIE! That was for you Eddie! I'm so tired.......I'm exhausted! I guess we're wrestling now, right?" Chavo's performance was hilarious, and even though he lost against Eddie, his reveal that the "tune-up" was a Batman Gambit SOLELY to get under Eddie's skin (it worked) can also qualify this as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.

This troper remembers one night on Nitro where Tony Schiavone had warned kids watching at home not to emulate any wrestling moves in their backyard, to which Bobby Heenan quips "Do it in your living room, it's more fun!"

Delirious emerging from under the ring with a Star Wars-themed pillow and Looney Tunes blanket (apparently Delirious was sleeping under the ring), with the pillow and blanket involved in several spots during the match

Claudio Castagnoli coming out in a bright white suit, taking the pillow and blanket and taking a nap in the middle of the ring

Austin Aries emerging from the back with toilet paper stuck to his shoe (and after his very hasty elimination, runs right back to the bathroom)

Every other participant turning on Brad Bradley, the largest competitor, and in the process managing a Total Party Kill.

Volume 46 had a sequence that became this in hindsight. Sweet Saraya knocked a drink of one fan into the face of another before attempting to assault a woman behind the barricade. The latter two were two different critics from two different website staffs. They were startled but said they enjoyed the show regardless.

During Cheerleader Melissa's challenge to Pure Wrestling Association Women's Champion 21st Century Fox in March of 2006 a chant of "Show Your Tits!" started to become audible only to be shouted down by a louder chant of "You're A Pervert!"

With Triple H and The Undertaker scheduled to face one another at WrestleMania XXVIII, John Morrison made this video.

While wrestling for either AAA or IWRG in October of 2011, Jennifer Blake of Las Gringas Locas heckled a fan to the point she ended up flashing Blake just to shut her up.

The three way dance between ACH, Ricky Marvin and Lio Rush at Chilanga Mask 3. Aniversario. Especially when ACH tried to taunt the crowd with a "USA" chant and some of them actually chanted along with him before they were drowned out by booing and a left field counter chant of "Honduras".

You think WWE's Hardcore Championship during the 24/7 rule is hilarious? Well maybe you should check Dramatic Dream Team's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. In principle, it's similar to Hardcore Championship with the 24/7 rule. With Ironman Heavyweight Championship however, said 24/7 aspect is cranked Up to 11 by allowing literally anything to win the title. Title winners includes former/current/future WWE/WCW/ECW/TNA performers at the time of when they hold the title (with the former consists of people like Rey Mysterio and Scott Hall, current performers being Rhyno, while a good example of a future performer being Asuka), indie stars like Joey Ryan, two "invisible" (i.e. non-existent) wrestlers, three animals, six different dolls, three different ladders, Vince McMahon's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and the title belt itself. Yeah.
